        COMMUNICATION FROM HON. RICK LARSEN, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Honorable Rick Larsen, Member of Congress:

                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, March 15, 2007.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Madam Speaker: This is to notify you formally, 
     pursuant to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House of 
     Representatives, that I have received a subpoena, issued in 
     the Municipal Court of the City of Bellingham, Whatcom 
     County, Washington, for testimony in a criminal cases.
       I do not appear to have any relevant or material testimony 
     to offer. Accordingly, after consultation with the Office of 
     General Counsel, I have determined that compliance with the 
     subpoenas is inconsistent with the precedents and privileges 
     of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Rick Larsen,
     Member of Congress.

                          ____________________
